They are volunteers but they volunteer mostly for sacrificial and patriotic reason and not for financial gain (since a number of them actually qualify for welfare and food stamps). I merely testify to the fact that there are men and women who heed the call and selflessly serve in harms way on our behalf... still.Pastor Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653554256101480140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-65357627407435069392012-11-11T07:49:03.354-06:002012-11-11T07:49:03.354-06:00I meant to say that all of the active duty folks a...I meant to say that all of the active duty folks are volunteers.

Not one citizen in this country has to pay for his/her freedom by serving in the military. The folks who are serving, today deserve a special place in our society.
